§ 66. Mr, G. Thomasasked the Under-Secretary of State for Air what changes are proposed in the leave schemes for airmen serving in the Canal Zone of Egypt.
Mr. WardUntil recently it has been impracticable to grant normal leave to airmen serving in Egypt because of the unsettled conditions there. Arrangements have now been made, however, for leave travel to Cyprus this summer at public expense. Those who wish to spend their normal leave elsewhere outside Egypt at their own expense will be allowed to do so.
